Joseph-Félix Bouchor Born in 1853, Died in 1937.
French.
Painter of genre, landscape, battle scenes, orientalists...

He was a student at the School of Fine Arts in Paris, and exhibited in 1878 at the Salon des artistes français.
He was awarded a medal at the Universal Exhibitions of 1889 and 1900.
He was named Chevalier of the Legion of Honor in 1900, then an officer in 1921.

During the First World War, too old to go to the front and released from all military obligations, he was commissioned by the Army Museum to bring back views of the battlefields.

He is the author of the first works from the war to enter the Army Museum, relating to the arrival at the Invalides of the first emblems captured from the enemy, in October 1914. In 1917, he was in Verdun, between June and september.

Many of his works from the war are reproduced in the works he published. After the war, he made a long trip to Egypt, Algeria and Morocco and got closer to Orientalist painters.
He will thus illustrate several books, including Morocco by the Tharaud brothers and Marrakech in the palms of André Chevrillon
